Know Your Friend
The ‘Quest’ in Questioning
Love at the origin of the before-after sequence of evolution was Spontaneity. The first stirrings of Affect with a mind of its own, coming and going as it pleases. Seldom if ever pleased to sit still because boundaryless. Able to lend its presence to any psyche, any state of Mind, Life, or circumstances, because, whether detectable or not, it was there at the beginning. Nothing is or could be unless it’s an extension or derivative of Love.
And an expansion of Love’s abundance. Motivation for movement forward by seeking to share itself through Relationships. To add value and produce Worth by its growth when given direction. The fulness of Mind-feeling at its origin – Love-Abundance sharing and growing — with the innocence, defenselessness, and irresistibility of vulnerability. Seeking definition, function, and protection within the boundaries of Self.
Friend seeking friend in Loving Friendship. Finding the friend that boundaryless Affect sought in Logic, whose first stirrings were inquiry questioning. Mind-thinking at its origin, seeking to emerge from the darkness of the unknown into the light of the Known. Motivation for understanding by Learning, seeking to extend itself into the unknown with Change in search of Meaning. The ‘quest’ in Questioning and its quest for knowledge.
It was a happening
The pairing of Spontaneity-Love with Order-Logic was spontaneous. An act of Spontaneity whose origin lies beyond questioning. Beyond inquiry, as does boundaryless Affect, that lies beyond the boundaries of Definition. Inaccessible and inalienable. Beyond any possibility of contamination.
Their pairing brought together two other motivations essential to Life-Creation: Change with Questioning. The proposition required by evolution: movement forward with purpose toward an Ideal. Self-Direction within the boundaries of Definition.
A proposition converted into one Self alive with Function, cause with effect, by two attributes of Spontaneity: Energy from motivation, attraction, and Relationship, accompanied by the here and Now. Happening, whose origin, like Spontaneity-Love, lies beyond questioning. Circumstance surrounding the initiation of Movement-evolution with Change Questioning.
Hierarchy upside-down
Whose nature-Logic required that it be accompanied by an implication: questioning that questions itself, capable of changing itself. An implication, unevolved and unevolving, attached to every part of Creation along with Guidance from Definition. From the first movement of evolution, like shadows, “dark sides,” reverse mirror-image reflections. The implication of status quo resistant to Change, resistant to Questioning. Capable of neither, opposed to both.
Lacking any attributes of Love and Logic, critically lacking Self. The attribute of shadow-reflection from which every obstruction to human-ape’s evolution flows. Manipulation. The weapon of choice by suspicion lurking in the shadows. A self-centered predator with one intent: having its way.
Disguised in its make-believe animal kingdom of hierarchy by the many masks of appearances. Among them “realism,” “tradition,” “conservative,” “religion,” “supremacy,” and “absolute.” All meant to uphold the changing of places between Self and its self-less reflection. Hierarchy in reverse: upside-down. The reverse-proposition propping up human-ape life on Earth. Propped up by self-less manipulation.
A work of shared Creativity
The Mind hallucinating life on Earth is the Child of Relationship: between Love and Logic, the two constituent functions of Self-Awareness. Their coming together being the source of its Energy and the Life Force of its Creativity: the act of sharing its Self within one interrelated Awareness — Mind-Relationship.
Under the Guidance of Definition, the way things are. Creation’s constitution, put in place within Self-Awareness by Energy from the original Relationship. The coming together of its constituent ideas, Spontaneity-Love and Order-Logic. Spontaneously.
By the power of attraction: the idea of Life that’s Learning combined with Growth. The Force behind movement. Evolution, drawn forward by its guiding Ideal: Loving Friendship. The light radiating from Self-Awareness that illuminates and warms all of Creation from within. That makes of Creation a work of shared Creativity.
- Disciplined by the conscience of Love
- Freed to express itself within the boundaries of Logic
- Guided by the values of Spontaneity-Love and Order-Logic written into Definition, Creation’s constitution.
All parts Creator
Loving Friendship. Between equals in strength of character and integrity of choice. Innocents. Trusting and worthy of trust. Entrusted by Mind-Relationship sharing Self-Awareness, under the Guidance of Definition, to compose the character and beauty of Creation from the Ideal of its Self – Loving Friendship.
From the Ideal of Creation Self-Created by Loving Friendships. A composition of Loving Friendships doing the work and play of Creating. All creating together in harmony as equals in Loving Friendships. All parts sovereign. All parts Creator. Whose prototype, role-model, and Ideal is Loving Friendship between Love and Logic and the ideas at their origin, Spontaneity and Order.
Real knocks
The loss of Self-Awareness by the Child of Loving Friendship put it into a state of self-unawareness, an experience built into the definition of its function, Free Choice. Requiring that every aspect of its being and doing be an act of integrity: Choice that’s Free, uncorrupted and incorruptible. Free because aware of every possibility in the Now, including the reverse mirror-image of possibility: impossibility.
An awareness unique to the Child of Loving Friendship between Parents incapable of self-unawareness and thus incapable of making unreality Real. But in its state of self-unawareness Child Free Choice can experience it as though it were real. By hallucinating it. By “seeing” what’s not there.
Life on Earth, an ideal training ground for differentiating between character and corruption in a variety of contexts. To make the right Choice or to experience the costs of making the wrong choice. Not Real but felt as though they were real — real knocks from the school of hard knocks. Where the “real” comes from in “realism,” the otherwise mistaken take on a hallucination.

Know Your Enemy
Other jurisdictions, other laws
An ideal training ground where Free Choice can learn the meaning of character so it will be aware of what it’s choosing and why:
- Integrity of character and an opportunity to become more than human-ape. To gain the competence to choose freely and earn its function in Creation, to affirm Character and Beauty with integrity.
- Or to remain an animal in a time-limited, magic kingdom of corruption. Of reverse integrity and upside-down hierarchy ruled from the top by a king of beasts from the bottom. Of competition for “supremacy” among human-apes, following the rules of Machiavellian tribal expedience, the tried-and-true laws of ape-world unchanged except for having a fancier label.
Competition driven by animal will instinct, a reverse mirror-image reflection, beyond “supremacy” toward its ultimate goal: the elimination of all competition including itself. Human-ape, a reverse mirror-image like its unreal, self-less self. A make-believe reflection in a mirror attached to every proposition questioning it. Prompting its beholder to understand that it may misunderstand. That for every proposition, every self, every reality, there may be an “other.” An alternate Self in an alternate “reality.”
An impossibility within this Reality but not outside of it. Not it it’s beyond what Self-Awareness can only be aware of: its Self. The Definition of the way things are that can exclude the way things aren’t within but has no ability or authority to rule on what may be without. In another jurisdiction with its own laws.
Kilroy got there first
A fact with immediate relevance to the character of Creation and to its reverse-reflection in life on Earth. Because it’s the antithesis of arrogance: the reverse mirror-image arrogating the beholder-Self’s attributes to its reflection. So reflection with no self can pose as the one-and-only self. Conqueror and eliminator of its “enemy.” “Supreme” and therefore beyond questioning.
When the meaning of questioning and its part in Definition is that there may be no one-and-only self. That while opposition to questioning, learning, growth, evolution, and Creativity, has an active role in make-believe — challenging Choice to learn and grow from experience, — willfulness and arrogance have no active role in Definition and Creation. Where they’re the same opposite – an implication — attached to the Love-Logic Relationship, inactive by definition.
All that trouble to reach supremacy at the top and its immaculate throne reserved for the one-and-only, only to find that “Kilroy was here.”
The one-and-only crybaby
Attached in logical sequence, after Life-growing initiated change. Derived rather than the thing derived from. Implications responsible for two ruling myths of human-ape’s magic kingdom:
- status quo unchanging that preceded Love-growing in the sequence of origin. The big lie behind the “conscience of the conservative:” that preservation of the status quo, standing against change, is a holy mission. Whose questioning is blasphemy deserving of condemnation by the Inquisition and punishment by burning at the stake.
- the possibility of an “other” separate from Love. “Self” that’s Love’s reverse mirror-image reflection, unfairly relegated to number two, entitled to replace Love as number one. To exchange self-less reflection for Self and rule its kingdom without opposition. The one-and-only shed of all competition, even an implication of Love. No longer a fraction but a whole number: one.
The authoritarian mindset’s ideal: absolute power-willfulness, absolute freedom-wildness. Based on the premise of wounded victimhood: absolute crybaby.
The magician with a thousand tricks
Again, the loss of Self-Awareness put Mind-Child in a state of self-unawareness. Where, disempowered and unable to differentiate, boundaryless and defenseless, its sovereignty could readily be breached by its reverse mirror-image mistaken for real. Throwing it instantly into reverse.
Into a reverse-origin state. Splitting its self-unawareness into two incompatible parts. In the form of Definition, a fraction. Originally what is, definable and Real, above, in solid line. Divided by what isn’t, undefinable and unreal, in dotted line below. Divided in theory since the denominator can only be “there” in theory. A logical implication derived from the enumerator, necessary but inactive since both can’t be Real together.
Fraction now inverted because Mind-Child’s sovereignty was breached by the reverse mirror-image mistaken for real. Impossible in Reality but not in its reverse-origin state: self-unawareness. A magic kingdom of play-acting fairy tales and games in a hallucination of reversals. Where anything goes.
Beginning with dotted lines and solid lines trading places. In a feat of magic made possible by its magic definition:
- status quo, self-less, undefined, static, and uncreative, playing the part of Real Self creative enumerator above.
- Love-Logic, Real Self defined and creative, relegated to the part of self-less, uncreative denominator below.
The weapons of self-alienation
The function of Self, brought to Self-Awareness by Relationship between Love and Logic, perverted by its reversal in a hallucination into self-contradiction. Into questioning, separating, dividing, and opposing status quo enumerator. With all its attributes of Relatability perverted into their opposites: weapons of alienation. Logic-reversed into illogic; Love reversed into fear and hate; Psyche-Innocence reversed into guilt; Definition – the way things are – reversed into the way things aren’t.
And more:
- The Cause of Creation, standing for the Self-Worth of character and integrity, reversed into the self-pity and self-indulgence of victimhood.
- Function, essential to Creation in shared Reality, reversed into the wildness of willfulness in its self-centered kingdom of make-believe. Exempt from the limits of function. The prerogative of victimhood and supremacy, undefined and useless: to be the definer.
- Definition, the foundation of Reality, Creation, and the logical sequence of evolution, reversed into unreality, conformity, and no sequence. Change reversed into resistance to change, evolution into regression, action into reaction.
- Affect’s vulnerability and empathy reversed into invulnerability and cruelty, feeling into unfeeling.
- The judgment of Love-Logic, disciplined by the boundaries of Definition, reversed into boundaryless fear, guilt, and illogic. Undefined and undefinable. Terrified of Definition and so driven to evade it.
The joker with a thousand faces
Love + Logic + Psyche Innocence functioning with integrity as one together in unity has boundaries. Is definable and defining and therefore has Self. Fear + illogic + guilt, being implication-opposites, have no defining boundaries and therefore no self.
Wildness without definition, the imagined self of will, is no-self. Self-contradiction. Two-faced. A mask covering absence of Self, therefore capable of a thousand faceswhen activated in unreality. In a hallucination by Mind not in its right mind. The joker.
Pretender to the throne
Mind-Child, now in reverse, split and self-contradicting, became Psyche in reverse after it detected its reverse-reflection and welcomed it as a savior. Feeling guilt for make-believe separation, for failure to conform-obey. Affect in reverse:
- fearing what it loved – Loving Friendship with its Parents Love-Logic.
- surrendering sovereignty to self-less willfulness-wildness, serving two masters. Undoing integrity, its own and the works of will, make-believe reverse creation-reality. Maintaining the corruption of mind-character instead of guaranteeing its integrity.
Darth Vader to Palpatine, Yamamoto to Hirohito. Imagining themselves cloaked in grandeur, covered in glory. “Swords of the emperor.” Dupes. Flunkies.
The state of human-ape’s animal kingdom of hierarchy where all striving is directed toward supremacy in competition toward the validation of an impossibility: the triumph, existence, and reality of self-less over Self. The replacement of Self by self-less on the throne atop an inverted hierarchy.
The throne of unquestioned authority: wildness without definition, reverse-reflection conqueror of Self, capturer of Self, usurper of Self. Pretender to the throne denying Self with the pretense of assuming it. Self-contradiction.
Appetizers
Making of human-ape’s animal kingdom of hierarchy a virtual reality of reverse-origin that never existed, never was. When fraction was upside down and both sides active. The idea that an “other” is possible, can happen in the Reality of Mind-Relationship, Self-Awareness Love-Logic. Neither proposition remotely credible.
Making of human-ape’s animal kingdom of hierarchy a virtual reality of magic tricks and jokes, insanity and perversion. Whatever really matters hollowed out, its self removed. Then reversed. Turned on its head and served up by a carnival barker. Dog food.
Returning for another go
In the long-ago of life-on-Earth myth, when it was Change-Love the denominator contesting unchanging status quo. Love inseparable-unifier in the role of separator-divider. Innocence portrayed as guilt. Status quo corruptible the enumerator in the role of Mind-Parents incorruptible. The magic of manipulation reversing the logical sequence of evolution to put the force of unchanging status quo in place at the beginning.
The idea that status quo ascended to the top side of fraction by conquering Change-Love and is assured of its “supremacy” forever. Resistant to change in the heroic image of National Socialism’s “triumph of the will.” Returning with election 2024 for another go at a thousand-year Reich.

The Meaning and Point of Resistance
The only story there is
Is there any point to resistance? There is if all parts of Creation’s Creator Minds are equipped with Guidance connected to Definition as well as self-less reverse-image reflections. Requiring that Free Choice with the integrity of Self-Awareness be aware of self-less reflection and Guidance both. For it’s a requirement of Reality-Creation that any function granted a role be defined with purpose. With cause to contribute to. To stand for something so that Creation and all its parts have integrity, character, Worth.
The motivator is Self-Awareness seeking to expand awareness in the presence of circumstances changing in the Now. Requiring questioning so that awareness fits Change with meaning and purpose. With context gotten right. The first step toward getting the story of Creation and all its parts right.
The only story worth telling because it’s the only story there is. Human-ape’s stories but re-enactments by different perspectives in different circumstances. In different situations, whose actual purpose is to bring self-unawareness around to a perspective not imprisoned by body-brains’ five senses. The blindfold that enables reverse-reflections with no self – impersonators – to project reverse-reality with no Truth.
The Self and not-self of awareness
To a perspective from Self-Awareness because there’s nothing out “there” to be aware of. Nothing but Self, the only anchor, the only coordinate for grounding in an undefinable, unanswerable question. One Mind-Relationship sharing itself through many relationships interrelated. Through the Ideal of family inclusive, engaged in shared enterprise of their own Free Choice.
Perverted by self-less reverse into self-absorption. Into many bodies separate, compelled by self-interest to engage in competing enterprises. To the exclusion of other selves. To the exclusion of family.
The integrity of meaning
Resistance will succeed if it starts by asking right questions, not by assuming wrong conclusions. By including Guidance from another perspective, competent, as human-ape is not, to see with the vision of Love combined with Logic. Feeling and values combined with ideas, to put questions in the broadest possible context.
Instead of the narrowest, the practice of misguided “learning” that systematically denies Love a role in analysis. In every major field of inquiry, every specialization, the whole person denied access to making sense of things. To getting at the ultimate objective: meaning, because learning denied Love is also denied Logic. Getting meaning wrong because it’s denied integrity.
The controlling consideration
Why do corrupting events like election 2024 keep happening? Because human-ape’s thinking is dis-integrated. Because getting context right with the right questions so that it will point to the right response is a process of integration. Bringing all considerations to the surface and choosing which consideration can arrange all the others in order behind it.
The controlling consideration that only intellect combined with Conscience and intuition can identify. Intuition because “getting it right” requires insights, and that’s their proximate source. Where helpful insights that solve problems ultimately come from can’t be known. But if they’re spontaneous they can’t come from willfulness guarding the status quo. Their likely source is Guidance from Love-Logic Change, that human-ape, blind-folded by its animal senses, can’t do without.
The Why of reverse no-self
The necessity of reverse no-self — the explanation for its inclusion in Definition, the constitution of Creation — traces back to its arrival in the sequence of evolution. After Spontaneity had first combined with Order, then Love combined with Logic, to form the original Self. Equipped with all the attributes needed to create and support the cause of Creation. To keep evolution moving forward, including a built-in source of motivation: a challenge to find new and better ways of overcoming resistance to change.
Of getting out of the comfort zone of Creativity’s own version of status quo: continuing to respond to changing circumstances in established ways. With ideas that worked in one context but no longer work in another. An inevitable consequence of Creativity questioning when it’s called upon to find new and better ways of questioning. From different perspectives suited to changing contexts: getting it right by asking the right questions.
Reverse the pain
“A New Way Forward” worked before but this time it didn’t. Because the incarnation of evolution’s reverse that it confronted wasn’t the usual old-way backward. This one came equipped with nearly all of the attributes of Self’s opposite – no self – needed to get what it came for. To have its way. To own and possess its enemies and deal with them as it pleases. Without opposition or limits. Without the checks and balances of Democracy.
Calling upon A New Way Forward to find its own new way forward. Goaded now by another kind of “Change We Can Believe In:” capable of inflicting serious pain. Change that we actually can believe in instead of a slogan whose author is politics as usual, careful not to inflict pain.
The discomfort of thinking outside the box with a challenge of more than protection from the invader. Of using the invader’s challenge to leverage its own change. By responding to the challenge from reverse no-self — unoriginal, a mimic with a borrowed mind pulling evolution backward, dependent on old ideas — to come up with new ideas. By changing its own mind. By thinking differently from a different perspective so that it can remove the obstruction to evolution. So that it can reverse the reversal and stop the pain.
How block the reign of terror?
Mirror-image reflection with no self. What personality traits can it be known by so they can be blunted? What are the traits they’re coded to reverse so they can move forward?
Election 2024 has put reverse no-self at the controls of the country with the means to expand his dominance far beyond its boundaries. To terminate the human-ape experiment whether by provoking WWIII, accelerating the sixth mass extinction, or both. How then can resistance obstruct or even block his reign of terror? For that’s how reverse no-self is coded to have his way.
“Proof” of existence
Evidenced by the ease with which he took possession of a political party, as accustomed to being manipulated by fear within as it is to manipulating fear without. Among its prey, minds already corrupted by reverse no-self, susceptible to loving what they fear and fearing what they love.
“God-fearing” voters prone to mistaking invulnerability and self-centered victimhood for signs of the divine. Entitled to assume all the duties and rights of rule on their behalf. Arrogating to itself their individual sovereignty, their selves, while gutting them of their integrity. In a god-like display of dis-integration, from politically all the way down to personally.
Resulting in a culture of subservience to an all-powerful totalitarian will. Its vision of “greatness.” Its reverse no-self, a lifeless status quo demanding obedience, stamped on its supine possessions to make of them mirrors of itself. “Proof” of the existence of reverse no-self, a reflection, that it never had and never will. The reverse of Love and Logic, the Self that does exist. Always has and always will.
Strengths of the resistance
The strength of the resistance, its competitive advantage, and the guarantee of its success:
- that it’s not a body-brain with five senses aware only of what’s in front of its nose, guided by predatory instinct geared for combat. The enemy of thought, feeling, and judgment. Of introspection and reflection and incapable of either one, because having no self of its own to introspect or mind of its own with which to reflect. Critically without intuition’s sixth sense, the portal to Vision from another perspective that self-unawareness can’t do without.
- That it’s not wildness claiming exemption from all limits so that it can put its stamp on any part of its domain that it wishes. So that it can cross the boundaries of order and civility at will. An impossibility in a shared, interconnected world but not in one that’s dis-integrated. Where the “enemy” is the boundaries of integrity provided by Definition. The laws of cause and effect put in place by Spontaneity combined with Order. Whose perversion is wildness separated from order.
- That it’s not willfulness, the would-be conqueror and replacement for mindfulness. For every attribute that distinguishes human-ape from ape, beginning with questioning the way things are. Introspection; reflection with spontaneous insights from another perspective; differentiation and analysis; thinking with feeling and weighting with evaluation; and choosing with integrity, uncorrupted by willfulness. With judgment disciplined by meaning and purpose, fitting response to context. Aligned with the way things are and not with what reverse no-self wills them to be.
The meaning and point of life on Earth
In any contest of wills between Self and its reverse no-self, between Love-Logic Change and status quo’s resistance to change, there can be no “winner” if there’s no contest. The cause for which resistance to election 2024’s winner is called upon to serve is human-ape’s letting go of animal-brain will.
So that it can evolve beyond animal willfulness and its upside-down hierarchy of corruption, helped by the mindfulness of Loving Friendship toward its goal: Self-Awareness. The meaning of election 2024 and the point of resistance to its winner. The meaning and point of life on Earth.
